New Joey Bada$$ Video Time-Warps to ’90s Brooklyn

It wasn’t by accident that rising teenaged Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$ called his breakout mixtape 1999. While his laid-back, charismatic flow might not exactly bring anything new to the table, combined with his ear for dusty, horn-laden beats, it perfectly channels a bygone era in New York rap. “Fromdatomb$,” his latest video, visually follows suit, with shots of Bada$$ and the rest of his Pro Era crew playing basketball, riding the trains, and walking the Brooklyn Bridge. To quote the song’s chorus, “Big ups to Brooklyn/Home of the realest.”
